IH-526Lod - 19oz Left-Hand Twill Selvedge Denim Type III - Indigo Overdyed Black

@RitchieCDog Even mine was missing a few stitches in the patch, and for a couple of years no other stitches have been missing, never mind these little imperfections make these jackets even more beautiful in my opinion, I wouldn't give this too much weight and I would enjoy this splendid jacket
-
@RitchieCDog I'll check my patch later, but honestly I personally wouldn't mind. My jacket did not look "pristine" when I received it, which doesn't take away from the overall enjoyment I get from wearing it. Plus, the abrasions are on a part of the jacket where I probably wouldn't notice them anyway, and with enough wear you will make this jacket yours and yours only, if you decide to keep it. Just my opinion.
As a general note, and I have written this before, the thing I enjoy most about my Iron Heart pieces is that they reflect my lifestyle and how I wear them. They are totally unique and that makes every piece I own special to me
-
@RitchieCDog It's been like this for two years and it hasn't changed, I just very carefully burned the wire that was sticking out but I probably could have done nothing and left everything as it was
-
@RitchieCDog I would say the fit is good.

Bored at work, little pic to add. Going give first wash this weekend, will post before and after pics. -
@RitchieCDog totally understand what you’re feeling man. You’re thinking:
“I paid a ton of money for this jacket!”
“This seems like I’m not getting a perfect starting point for my fade journey.”You’re totally justified in those feelings. I will say, those collar abrasions will be some of the first areas of high wear you’re going to get and they will melt away into all the other rad progress you earn with this jacket. You’ll be getting sick fades all over before you know it, and those spots on the collar will be forever forgotten even faster.
The patch is also a fair concern, but again, one that almost certainly isn’t going to devolve into anything other than your jacket being unique and yours. Worst case scenario…the boys in Gos will make quick work of making sure that patch never moves a millimeter.
Again, you paid a bunch and need to be stoked. But I’d be willing to bet if you stick with the jacket, you’re gonna be super psyched on it after a day or two wearing that beauty.

@RitchieCDog great fit and the imperfections wouldn't bother me in any way. Go on with your journey and wear the hell out of this beauty

@jerkules amazing!
-
@meatmarketdenim1 thanks man - I haven’t kept count but it gets worn mostly in spring/autumn - or less cold winter days. To be honest, I wouldn’t say I’ve worn it particularly hard in the last couple of years, so I’m surprised how evolved it’s looking! The wash definitely brought out more silver tones

My lefty OD, approx 140 wears(didn’t keep best track when first got it). After its First wash, I Just did a bathtub wash. My washer machine is old and worried would get marbled/or soap still left on it. Stoked put lots of more miles on this bad boy, my fav IH jacket. . Purchased from @Kasi thanks again man, jacket is well loved here in SF
-
My most worn jacket for months. Still stands up against the wall. Love it!
-
-
It doesn't look like it but I wear this alot! Had some time and good lighting so I used it. Nearing 8 months of wear off and on.
-
@RitchieCDog ya I think you hit the nail on the head with the fit looks great to me
-
Just snapping up a storm today
-
Hoping the Iron Heart crew can chime in here: are there any plans to restock this model any time soon? The one I have is great, however I've lost weight and need to size down. Everywhere I've checked is sold out in the size I would need, either an XL or 2XL. Any info is appreciated!!

@Nostradamion last restock was late June. Given the current situation I reckon it will be a while. Tagging @ShopatIronHeart for confirmation
-
@Nostradamion it's on the list of things we want to re-run, but is not in production yet, so will not be soon I'm afraid.
Such is the state of production, you're going to see me saying this a lot I'm afraid.
526J-142ib will be here soon though if you're in need of a Type III...
